Maybe we need a new acronym...

OODAT Loop?
Has a New Orleans flavor, yes?

“In fact, when I want to get something out to the press, I tell certain people. And it’s amazing, it gets out there” - POTUS

Now that the first tier of the Deep State traitors are largely gone, Trump and Barr are trolling the second tier to see who is a leaker.

Let’s see what Durham comes up with. If nothing, then I’ll agree with you.

Agree.

Interestingly, the FIBBer forging the FISA document did not make Barr’s job “impossible.” I believe he is still uncharged and employed by the FBI/DOJ. Last I checked the FIB was part of the “Barr” DOJ. Yet our fearless AG couldn’t be less interested in the crimes commuted by his subordinates.

There is something rotten in the swamp and it isn’t Trump’s tweets.

The lamestream media is just making things up now

How is that any different than: “Trust Sessions. Trust Huber.”? No, it’s time for the DOJ to produce results. Now.

There have already been reports that Durham still hasn’t interviewed key witnesses. The same was said of Huber and we know how that ended. Maximum pressure must be applied or we will get nothing out of the swamp. Guaranteed.

I think this was all a setup. Just yesterday Trump told the press he goes to certain people with things and within hours it is in the NYT or WAPO.

Maybe Barr and Trump have coordinated to conduct a trolling conspiracy. If the MSM, et al., are yakking about this, BB and PDJT can be working behind the scenes quietly to do important work. (I doubt it, though.)

The only coordination here was between Barr and McConnell. They both gave TV interviews critical of POTUS within hours last week.

There was resignation smoke shortly before the fire with Tillerson, Kelly, Mattis and Bolton. It’s wishful thinking to think it’s any different with Barr.

Barr is clearly unhappy with the valid criticism the do-nothing except prosecute Trump supporters “Barr” DOJ is getting from POTUS. If that is the case he never was interested in draining the swamp. I wish it was different but the facts speak for themselves.

If “people close to him” are disclosing his private conversations with them to the media, he should find better people to be close to.

I think that’s more like it. McConnell would only agree to have the Senate confirm people HE approved of. Otherwise, I think PDJT would’ve had loyal supporters in front of the Senate for confirmation hearings. I say again, “POTUS is not in charge.”

However, on the good side, the thread is up to 73 replies and I still don’t see “bagpipes” mentioned yet.

Oh, wait! I said it!

They forget that the corrupt media reports anything they want, especially if it’s fake news.

Fitton is absolutely right. I wouldn’t mind if Barr quit. He thinks his job is to protect the DOJ. F him. Mitch may not give Trump a recess appointment but nothing can stop Trump from naming an interim who will actually do something.

“one person familiar with Barr’s thinking told The Washington Post.”.... is as far as I get into any article.

one person familiar with Barr’s thinking told The Washington Post...to go stuff itself, so we at the Washington Post just made stuff up, as we always do.

ps make sure you buy your next bag of dog food at our Oberführer’s house at Amazon.

Have you seen anyone indicted yet?
What makes you think the Deep State is not winning with Barr in place?
